G. M.!

I am returning your speech.193

Its main defect: too much about electrification, too little about current economic plans.

The main emphasis has been placed on the wrong point.

When I had before me communist "know-it-alls" who, without having read the book *Plan for the Electrification* and without understanding its significance, chattered and wrote nonsense about the plan in general, I had to rub their noses in that book, because there is no other serious plan and there cannot be*.

When I have before me the people who wrote that book, I would rub their noses not in that book, but away from it — toward the questions of current economic plans.

Occupy yourselves with them now, gentlemen professors! Your electrification in allen Ehren!**

To it indeed honor, honor. We have written the 1st edition. We shall correct it and bring out the 2nd. Specialists of such-and-such a subcommission will write a dozen decrees and resolutions about the teaching of electricity and the plan for electrification and so forth. We shall confirm this.

** — in full honor! Ed.
